This course provides a comprehensive exploration of FL Studio’s Piano Roll and Channel Rack tools, guiding users through essential MIDI editing features like note manipulation, quantization, and chord progression creation for efficient music composition. It delves into advanced functionalities such as the Arpeggiator, Ghost Notes, and Time Signatures, enabling precise control over melodies, rhythms, and harmonies across genres. The course also covers Patcher for chaining instruments and effects, alongside audio and MIDI recording techniques, equipping producers with skills to create dynamic, professional tracks. Through hands-on instruction, students master tools like Edison and NewTime for audio manipulation, fostering both corrective and creative production workflows.
In this module, we explore the comprehensive tools of the Piano Roll and Channel Rack in FL Studio, designed for precise and creative MIDI composition. The Piano Roll Menu centralizes access to features like note editing, quantization, chord creation, and MIDI import, streamlining melody, rhythm, and harmony creation. Key tools include the Selection Stretch Handle for adjusting note durations, Mouse-Wheel Property Note Changes for quick velocity and pan tweaks, and the Note Properties & Event Editor for detailed attribute control. Ghost Notes aid in aligning melodies across Channels, while Time Signatures and Scales & Keys support complex rhythms and harmonious structures. Specialized tools like the Arpeggiator, Chord Progression Tool, and Randomizer foster intricate patterns and creative exploration. The Channel Rack, as the core sequencing hub, offers step sequencing, looping controls, and swing to build dynamic patterns. Together, these tools empower users to craft expressive, professional-grade tracks across genres.
In this module we introduce the Patcher, a versatile plugin that enables users to chain multiple instruments and effects into reusable, complex patches, streamlining workflow with features like a resizable workspace, auto-arrange modules, and custom control interfaces. Its comprehensive navigation, connection management, and MIDI control capabilities, including voice effects plugins and logic-based features like switches and selectors, empower users to create dynamic, interactive sound designs for studio production or live performance.
In this module, you will learn the versatile capture of audio, MIDI notes, automation, and performance clips, with a Recording filter enabling selective data type recording for flexible music production workflows. It supports detailed audio recording to the Playlist or Edison, MIDI note input with quantization and step entry, and automation recording for dynamic control, enhanced by tools like the LFO and Scale Levels for precise editing and creative sound design.
In this module, we go over Edison. Edison is a powerful audio editing and recording tool in FL Studio, integrated into Mixer track effect slots for capturing and processing audio in RAM, optimized for samples up to 500 MB with high-quality 32-bit float processing. It offers versatile functions like exporting audio to Playlists or files, loop recording with take selection, and advanced tools such as denoising, time stretching, and vocal isolation, making it essential for sound design, vocal cleanup, and loop creation.
NewTime is a powerful FL Studio plugin for slicing, warping, and time-correcting audio, enabling precise rhythmic alignment or creative transformations like stuttered beats and shuffled grooves, ideal for genres such as hip-hop, EDM, and cinematic music. NewTone complements it as a pitch-correction and time manipulation editor, offering intuitive note-based editing on a Piano roll to refine vocals, correct instrumental pitches, or create experimental effects, with MIDI export capabilities for synthesizer integration in pop, R&B, and electronic productions.
